spleen angiography and coiling

The patient sustained a grade three splenic laceration with active bleeding. Splenic artery angiography revealed active contrast extravasation (black arrow on the image above) indicating bleeding. Selective coiling of the bleeding vessels (white arrow above) was performed to stop the bleeding. The patient subsequently did well and was discharged home.
